Drug and Crime Sting By Seattle Police Is Great News For Homeowners and Tourists

We noticed a post today on Facebook by a well respected Seattle architect and friend of the blog. He cited an article by the Seattle Times that revealed a recent drug and gang sting operation by the Seattle PD. The operation, named “Operation Happy Holidays” successfully identified and arrested 30 drug dealers and gang members that have been roaming the downtown core. Many arrested had been operating in the Westlake Center area of downtown. This is one of Seattle’s prized possessions and a jewell for Holiday tourists taking in all of our shopping and other city attractions.

As proponents of downtown living, we congratulate the Seattle Police Department and encourage them to keep up this type of work. Seattle’s downtown core has been neglected in years past. We have an amazing city. Some would argue that we have one of the best local economies in the nation. We have a growing downtown, with diversity and promise. We are digging a tunnel, redeveloping our waterfront and growing by leaps and bounds. We need to protect our city and make it habitable and enjoyable by all who live here. Kudos to the Seattle PD and the Mayor for seeing this through. Keep up the good work.

Seattle condos owners will be the first ones to tell you that everyone supports the continued effort to fight all types of crime in our incredible city.
